Legacy for Our Future
(formerly Project HOPE and EZRA
Society)
With a gift through your will or estate plan, or an outright endowment, you can help
strengthen our congregation and leave a legacy for Congregation Beth Israel. Our Legacy for Our Future program will allow us to grow our membership and enhance our
ability to meet the higher
costs of operations.
There are so many ways to help. Life insurance policies, partial donations
of IRAs,
appreciated stock, charitable gift annuities
and remainder trusts, are a few of the vehicles we
can suggest for your consideration. We have very knowledgeable
people on the Beth Israel Legacy Committee and they
will be glad to assist you and your family.
Go to our FAQs page for more information.
